This is a commonly asked
question... who is the oldest continuous corps? in the country or in my province? The prerequisite
is date formed, if the corps stood down for any period and was reformed
that is a different matter, broken service is just that. Some corps have
adopted numbers of previous corps in the same town and sometimes from
elsewhere, that does not constitute length of service.

The best example of broken or interrupted
service is:

#1 Corps de Cadets Seminaire de St. Hyacinthe,
St-Hyacinthe, QC formed November 28, 1879 disbanded March 31, 1948
